The discovery of a peculiar hat turns the world upside down as a guy finds out he's the only one who can
see like this with his entire worldview distorted. But there's always a drawback to curiosity.

discuss the origins and find out if the expression is used too much.
A Second Chance follows Ellie, a lonely teen, who's being bullied but dreams of being a singer. After a
near-death experience, she enters a beautiful forest where angelic spirits help her rediscover joy, friendship,
and her spark. Sent back to the real world, she narrowly avoids tragedy and begins to truly live. In the future,

think. If we all just take a few seconds to do this it might save us hours of stress and despair.
Knock Knock is a short film following the ventriloquist doll, Louie, as he pursues his childhood dream of becoming a comedian. However, his frightening looks lends himself to making people scream, rather than augh.

This no-dialogue short film explores the nature of individuality, and the struggle to hold on to ones uniqueness in the face of criticism from society.

Someone Like Me- An Allegory About Belonging is a poignant stop-motion animation that delves into
themes of identity, emotion, and belonging through the eyes of a faceless mannequin doll. Crafted by
students from our Support Unit, the film follows the mannequin's journey through surreal and often
unwelcoming worlds, including towering kitchens, wild oceans, and corporate offices. Each meticulously
animated scene challenges the audience to convey deep meaning through movement, sound, and visual
storytelling. The result is a powerful exploration of the human experience, rendered in tactile, handmade
frames that invite us to reflect on our own sense of self and place in the world.
